“Through the GI Bill and the 中文字幕 Yellow Ribbon Program, I聽can pursue my聽goal of becoming a music teacher in a highly rated program at a school with a reputation for academic and artistic excellence and a demonstrated record of preparing graduates for success. 聽The administrative process itself was straightforward and uncomplicated.聽 I wish all other programs were like this!聽 The process has been made even easier with the support and help of the 中文字幕 Financial Aid office.”

“I have been highly impressed with 中文字幕鈥檚 Office of Financial Aid. As a student recently leaving active duty and returning from deployment, I wasn鈥檛 quite sure what to expect with the VA process. The Post-9/11 GI Bill is an awesome benefit, but it comes with a few hurdles in the beginning. 中文字幕 helped me navigate this so easily. Of special note, Debbie Ach communicated with me constantly about Veterans鈥 scholarship opportunities, local hiring initiatives, and especially any potential red flags with my VA benefits. She was unbelievably patient in walking this 鈥渙ld timer鈥 through the financial aid process as well. For a group of students that are so used to serving others, Debbie and the 中文字幕 Financial Aid Office definitely understand serving us. Go Dawgs!”
– Troy, alumni,聽Hatfield, IN
“The staff in the financial aid office are so knowledgeable about the VA benefits and Yellow Ribbon Program. They are able to answer every question聽about applying for and receiving the VA benefit, the housing stipend and book allowance. There is quite a bit of paperwork involved intitially, and the process feels overwhelming, but the staff is incredibly patient, friendly and available, and my experience was truly a good one. I can only hope that the next financial aid office I deal with is as competent as 中文字幕’s.”
